Description Miro Hrončok 2018-08-30 12:34:43 UTC

We've recently switched requires on setuptools and pip to recommends. See: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/ARFZB56ULRQNT3FEAC4YXXZDIUHG4M5P/


While I like specific BuildRequires, apparently it is possible to build some packages without setuptools and distutils will create egg-info file, but with setuptools it will create egg-info directory.

File vs. directory is bad in RPM and can bring serious troubles:  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Directory_Replacement

I propose we add "Requires: pythonX-setuptools to pythonX-devel" in order to prevent a giant clusterfuck.

Later we can somehow analyze the issue and mass add BRs for setuptools, but before we do that, everything can already be on fire.

Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2018-08-30 13:04:57 UTC

Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 29-beta by Fedora user churchyard using the blocker tracking app because:

 This has a potential to break a lot of other updates.

Comment 3 Tomas Orsava 2018-08-30 13:34:26 UTC

Agreed, we need to add the Requires, at least for now.
